Do NOT eat at this CCF if you must be gf! My server seemed ticked that I would ask for gf. I am now violently ill.. I know what cross contamination feels like, and this isn't it. I honestly believe I was served non gf pasta, even though the person who brought it out told me it was gf. Lesson learned the hard way. :-(
Very nice gluten free menu - lots of options
been here multiple times. almost inevitably served gluten by accident or given the most tasteless dry chicken and plain rice as my "only option"
I work at a different Cheesecake Factory so this one might be slightly different. However, I see the most horrible things happen with "gluten free food". I came here cause of a friends birthday choice and ate grilled salmon, which I never have a problem with. But stay away from the pasta and salad dressings. I have found pasta in my eggs, and gluten free pasta. The salad dressings get mixed up all the time. Stick with grilled food!!!
Great gluten free menu. pasta was good & tender. would be nice to have more than one cheesecake option but the one they have is very good.
I recently revisited this location (after being turned away a few years ago) and I am sooo glad I did! They have a new multi-page gluten free menu!! Wow! The food was great. I had a burger with a gf bun, seemed like an udis bun, and French fries. Will be back again soon.
I read a lot of bad reviews about gluten items showing in "gluten free" entrees, so I sent an email to the corporate office. I received a call from their representative on September 10, 2013 stating they now have a menu dedicated for those who are gluten free. First let me say that they have a separate area in the kitchen with designated utensils for gluten free items, this will cut down on cross contamination. The representative relayed that they try to prepare gluten free items first. This is a new program, about a week old from this review. My family and I have eaten there two times since my conversation and have been satisfied both times. The only problem would be the noodles at this time, some was too hard while other entrees where too soft. They have gluten free bread, for those who want an actual hamburger/turkey burger/mushroom burger/eggplant burger (yes many choices). Like all restaurants the waiter can make the experience great or just average, which is why I won't deduct my rating for an establishment because of one waitress. They also have desserts that are consumable for those with gluten intolerance/Celiac. Another feature my wife and I like is the fact they state that some items may contain has much as 20ppm. Finally the prices, there is NO added surcharge for wanting gluten free items; the price remains the same, minus the bread that is given complimentary in the beginning of the meal for those who can consume gluten. For those who miss eating Cheesecake Factory I highly recommend revisiting now they are serving gluten free items.

Most of the servers have been helpful in identifying good flavored gf food on their menu. menus have been update and reflect gluten free options. have eaten there twice due to conference and will continue to go back.
400 Commons Way #270, Bridgewater, NJ 08807
They offer a large variety of choices from appetizers to entrees and even a choice for dessert! The staff was very knowledgeable about gluten free. Great experience!

absolutely amazing GF burger!
1796 International Drive, Mc Lean, Virginia 22102
I'm truly excited how many GF options are offered on the menu and the quality of their bar staff during lunch time. Also, the rice noodles are actually made with rice flour so I was able to order the Chicken Lettuce Asian Tacos without modifications; that made my heart so happy.
210 Andover Street, Peabody, MA 01960
After a few years of avoiding this chain, I was finally forced back because someone wanted to go and I did not want to be the jerk who said no. To my surprise they now have a GF menu which wasn't horrible, except, of course for dessert. Then you get basically a flourless chocolate cake.
161 Quakerbridge Mall, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648
They seem to offer very few options. We had roasted chicken w mashed potatoes and grilled salmon which were good. Even though they offer GF bun- Burgers and fries are cross contaminated. Waitress was very kind to warn of cross contamination. But manager would supervise any GF orders.
7067 Friars Road, San Diego, CA 92108
I tried their lettuce wraps and they were delicious
930 Milwaukee Ave, Lincolnshire, IL 60069
Although their massive menu doesn't really include as many GF options as one would hope for, they make up for it by excellent food quality, knowledgeable servers, and (I know it sounds silly) decent GF buns. When everyone at the table is snarfing the bread, it was nice of the server to bring a warm, lightly toasted GF bun so I would have something too. And the bun is actually delicious. And don't get me started on the Godiva cheesecake....love love love.
75 Middlesex Turnpike, Burlington, MA 01803
In my experience, they treat gluten sensitivities like a fad diet and therefore do not take it seriously. My server could have cared less. I did not feel safe at all. Will not be back and it's a shame since this was one of my favorite restaurants before.
7 Backus Ave, Danbury, CT 06810
Our server was extremely careful once we let him know we had Celiac and not only went to ask about the fry oil and pasta water but took it upon himself to check the ingredients and preparation of our beverages even though I forgot to ask about them. He let us know their protocol about changing gloves and two different managers stopped by our table to ask if we had any others questions. We felt very safe eating there!
3015 Grand Ave, Coconut Grove, FL 33133
This one in particular behaved very unfriendly and non-sympathetic at all!! We had to order what they suggested from the GF options and my 3yr old daughter got very sick that night. She wanted her usual GF burger with the GF fries and these were both denied because they said they couldn't guarantee they would be safe... In exchange she actually did get sick from their GF pasta!!!
415 South 27th Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15203
Had the gluten free salmon. Yum

2301 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu, HI 96815
I had gf bacon cheeseburger with gf bun and gf fries cooked in a separate fryer. (After asking them several times to check!) the staff were very patient. It was definitely a treat! Gf choc cheesecake for dessert- only issue, I was too full to eat it all! Not ill at all, just very full!
6600 Topanga Canyon Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 91303
Very disappointed in their gluten free menu. Not a separate and distinct menu, just items noted can be made gluten free on request. Ordered a salad and learned when it was served the chicken breast had been eliminated because of the marinade. Unable to provide a plain unmarinated chicken breast. No protein option available.
5015 Westheimer Road, Houston, TX 77056
The staff was wonderful, very attentive to our multiple allergy issues. Beautiful setting. And don't pass up the cheese cake, perfect for two people.
640 West Dekalb Pike, King of Prussia, PA 19406
The manager said it would be 100% gluten free and me and my mom decided to share a pasta carbonara dish. It took forever to get there, and when a lady came with our meals, my aunt's plate of pizza was overlapping mine. I looked over it but, after I took five bites I discovered a piece of regular pasta in my gluten free pasta. I had a mini panic attack while my mom sorted it out. Manager didn't even come out to talk to us. I got a new dish of pasta, and we got our whole meal for free because of it. Felt sick the next morning. Never going to Cheesecake Factory ever again.
115 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02199
Family friendly. Good choice of GF options. Couple of GF desserts as well as ice cream. Enjoyed it so we went back 2 days later.
250 Granite Street, Braintree, MA 02184
Cheesecake was surprisingly slow to come out with their GFree options. Finally they have a seperate menu. All of their menus are books so I still worry about education and cross-contamination with their cooks. I did have the lemon roasted chicken and it was delicious. Also had the Godiva Chocolate cheesecake - it was just ok.
1736 Redwood Hwy, Corte Madera, CA 94925
Terrible idea to eat there. GF NOT. They have no idea what that means. Waitress suggested a salad but had no idea if it was GF.
3111 West Chandler Boulevard, Chandler, AZ 85226
My daughter has celiac disease. Call ahead & Spoke with main chef ahead of time & he said they take gluten free seriously. When we got there, server was great & understanding. Had a good selection of gluten free foods to choose from. My daughter loved the food. Afterwards my daughter wanted to try the Godiva gluten free cheesecake. The server made sure they used clean utensil to get a piece. My daughter didn't get sick. Great experience!!
265 Central Park Ave, Virginia Beach, VA 23462
Good gf bread so you can finally order like everyone else.
7400 San Pedro Avenue, San Antonio, TX 78216
I had a great experience! We sat at the bar and she was fantastic about all things gluten; I even had a visit from a manager saying that their chips for the guac weren't gf and asking if I wanted celery sticks instead. And this is the only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5; I feel like if your guac dish is marked as gf, it should be or they should keep gf corn chips on hand...it's not like they are hard to come by! I had their kale salad, some guac and Steak Diane, plus the Godiva Cheesecake, all delish and seemingly gf! The bartender did say that they are very careful about serving utensils when they have the cheesecakes, but there's not a dedicated space for the Godiva there, so there could be contamination.
3500 Las Vegas Freeway, Las Vegas, NV 89109
No gf menu, just items listed that can be gf upon request. staff is helpful finding safe items. What really irritates me is that the only cheesecake that can be ordered gf is Godiva chocolate, ugh! Rating would be much higher if I could have gotten a decent cheesecake!
3525 Tyler Street, Riverside, CA 92503
$$ Delicious. Only one gluten free cheesecake--chocolate Godiva--very rich! Good for sharing. Can't eat it all in one sitting. There are a few gluten free pasta items. I have only tried the gluten free falle chicken roasted garlic but I liked it so much I keep ordering it. The dinner pasta (not lunch) is very large, enough for two people. I'd like to try the eggplant one though. As always, make sure to inform the staff if you have an allergy/celiac so that they can let the manager and chefs know. They are very good about handling it without creating a scene.
9309 Washington Square Rd, Tigard, OR 97223
I was fine not having the bread when my dad asked if there was bread I could nibble on. they brought me the most delicious roll I was sure there had been a mistake. the waiter was super nice and said he was 100% sure it was gf. I seriously started crying. I haven't had bread like that in a year!only one gf cheesecake option but its chocolate so no complaints and no worries about getting sick!
7067 Friars Road, San Diego, CA 92108
Delicious gluten free desserts!
2301 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu, HI 96815
We ate there twice and I had success both times. I was told fries had a separate fryer but didn't get them. Burgers were great and was told their dressings for salad all had a dairy component. They did offer vinegar and oil and brought bottle for me to inspect. Good thing as one was a malt vinegar.
2601 Preston Rd, Frisco, TX 75034
My husband and I can here with such high hopes.. We started with the corn cake tamales and they were AMAZING! Now you might be wondering why the 3 stars if it was amazing.. Well after the appetizer it went downhill, and fast.. They then brought our 2 entrees out and they looked wonderful! The person who brought our meal (not our server) then asked if we would like grated parmesan on top, and I asked her if the parm was gluten free (as I have found several that are not) and she was like its cheese.. And was argumentative with me about cheese being gluten free, but would not say that this was.. So I just said "no thanks" she walked away and seemed mad at me for asking.. We started eating and first thing I noticed is it was cold.. My husbands was piping hot.. So then after a few bites I found a mushroom in my pasta which was not supposed to have mushrooms.. We then asked the server to be sure and she said we were right and took the plate to remake it.. But that makes me wonder about how they actually handle cross contamination. So all in all it was an okay experience.. Would we go back? Maybe.. But that's a big maybe.

Got the GF sweet corn appetizer and will be going back for chocolate cheesecake. Great service knowledgeable staff.
65 Regent Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84111
good food but it made me sick. definitely some contamination issues here.
1200 Morris Turnpike #103, Short Hills, NJ 07078
Ordered two small plates- chips and guacamole and sweet corn tamale cakes- as they were listed "gluten free upon request" on the menu. The plates were NOT gluten free. Got severely ill and contacted Cheesecake Factory about their lack of training on food allergies. Haven't heard back yet.
5015 Westheimer Road, Houston, TX 77056
Had the shepherd's pie, which was delicious and the chocolate Godiva cheesecake which was amazing and rich. All 4 of us shared one piece. The gf items are marked on the menu
210 Andover Street, Peabody, MA 01960
Allways go and never had a problem. They have good pasta and burgers. Don't get frys because it shares a fryers
24265 Cedar Road, Lyndhurst, OH 44124
Excellent mushroom burger with GF bun! Staff knowledgeable!! Someone at table next to me just asked about it because it looked soooooo good!! Delicious!
7 Backus Ave, Danbury, CT 06810
They have a GF menu with plenty of options, very willing to make accommodations, and even have a fantastic gluten free Godiva Chocolate cake!! I had 2 pieces of it, along with a very nice dinner.
71 Isham Road #20, West Hartford, CT 06107
Yesterday went to the cheesecake factory i wasnt impressed as usual what i found strange is i oulked up there menu looked at a appetizer which stated 1 price but when in questioned the waitress told me the website was updated.in response i said to her why is the menu here stating a different price she didnt have a plausible answer anf basically walked away. They're over priced and food is not that GREAT!!!!!! Beautiful place for show. Ive been to more down home gems gotten waaaaaay better food and service. Will not be returning anytime soon. People Rah!Rah! About this place why I dont know. Also they change the menu to much its like 6 different Resturants in one place basically a bufffet. LOL LOL can get that anywhere. The resturant is a joke
8405 Park Meadows Center Drive, Littleton, CO 80124
I am the only celiac in my family so sometimes I hate going out but our waiter was AMAZING! She let me know what brand of pasta the GF was and I throughly enjoyed my meal. almost 3 hrs later and I have a happy tummy. They even have GF cheesecake!!!
15900 La Cantera Parkway, The Shops at La Cantera Mall, Suite 24100, San Antonio, TX 78256
The main menu clearly shows gluten free items AND they have gluten free pasta! The pasta was delicious, which is always hit or miss, but it was definitely a hit for me!
3545 Nicholasville Road, Lexington, KY 40503
They clearly mark what can be made gluten free on their menu, but state that they use the same equipment and there is a risk of cross contamination. My husband likes the Factory Nachos (not gf), but I have yet to find a dish that I like. My first visit, there was an hour and a half wait and I was served chicken that was only partially cooked, then they tried to charge for my meal, too. The other times, the food wasn't that great and I want to be wowed for a price tag that high. One time, they gave me a gluten free hamburger bun for table bread so that I could have bread, too. It was good, but when I ordered the hamburger with gluten free bun on another trip, the top was stale and the bottom was soggy. I would not recommend this place until the staff learns how to cook a decent meal.
781 Brandon Town Center Mall, Brandon, FL 33511
took my celiac son here for dinner staff was nice and ensured me everything ordered was gluten free and safely prepped. unfortunately my son was complaining of stomach ache and vomiting before we even left the table. we ordered tamale appetizer and shrimp over gf pasta for him.
1062 Saint Louis Galleria, St. Louis, MO 63117
My advice, stick with salads and burgers. There were plenty of other GF options on the menu. My son had a burger with gluten free bun, he said it was good and inhaled it. My mom had the grilled salmon with asparagus and potatos, which looked delicious. She was confused why the herb crusted salmon in one area of the menu was GF Upon Request but not listed that way in another area, and did not get a very clear answer from the waiter. There were GF options listed on the kids' menu, which I have not seen other places. Good service as well. I had the shepherd's pie, which I did not want, but I had a hard time deciding. Many choices, nothing inspired me. The Shepherd's pie was good but pretty salty and oily. I would not order that again. Only one cheesecake is available GF, we did not try it. I think this place, which such an expansive menue, could do a lot better.
1200 Morris Turnpike #103, Short Hills, NJ 07078
I would give it less if I could. My mom's meal came a half hour before mine did and I only got pasta!!! When I finally got my food, it tasted good but I found remnants of regular pasta at the bottom. Sure enough, I felt sick an hour later. Would not recommend. Terrible service and got sick from it. My dad called the manager and gave us a gift card but it is not worth the risk.
455 Menlo Park Dr, Edison, NJ 08837
They have many options for Gluten allergies ... just have to be cautious with sauces and dressings.
6600 Topanga Canyon Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 91303
Got horribly poisoned here and as much as I love Cheesecake Factory, I won't eat there again - it's just not worth it. I was halfway through my salad when I came across a few things that were definitely not supposed to be in there... it was then that I wondered about cc and sure enough I started getting sick on the way home and was ill for 8 days... Shame because I actually had a very knowledgable server who told me all about the cross contamination issues, that the broccoli is boiled in the pasta water for example - something I would never think about. We both figured a salad would be safe enough right? SO WRONG. If you are in the least bit sensitive do not eat here.
10120 California Street, Omaha, NE 68114
While they don't have a gluten free menu specifically, they do identify what they can prepare gluten free. When I asked the waitress how the gluten free options were prepared her answer was very knowledgable and impeccable. Sure, there is a high degree of trust here. But for the first time in a long time my three year old got to eat a hamburger and dessert at a restaurant. Thank you!!
1201 Lake Woodlands Dr #302, The Woodlands, TX 77380
I got soooo sick after eating here. I was up all night. I haven't been that sick in a long time.
7002 Arundel Mills Circle, Hanover, MD 21076
I'm so excited about discovering the CF offering gluten-free alternatives on their regular menu with a gf icon to include: Shepard's Pie (!), a few different pasta and burgers, sides, various meat entrees, and a couple desserts.
251 Geary Street, San Francisco, CA 94102
They don't have "GF" items - they have items that are on the menu that don't have gluten in them. They make no effort to be GF at all. Its just regular menu items that wouldn't come with gluten anyway.

Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy are parting ways with The View.
A source tells PEOPLE that Shepherd, 47, and her rep couldn't reach an agreement with ABC on a new deal. McCarthy, 41, is being let go because the talk show "is moving in a new direction creatively," the source adds.
"The number 7 is God s number of completion & after 7 seasons my time at The View is now complete! So grateful 2 every1 4 their love & support," Shepherd announced on Twitter Thursday.
"Incredibly grateful to my second mom Barbara Walters for pushing me beyond my comfort zone – it's been amazing doing it scared! #joy"
McCarthy echoed Shepherd's sentiments on Twitter, writing, "If Sherri goes … I go too. #sisters"
She adds, "My View will be changing too. As will with many hard working folks. Thanks to everyone at the show for your dedication and an amazing year … We will be back."
"After careful consideration, it is time for me to move on," Shepherd said in a statement to Deadline. "I am extremely grateful to Barbara Walters and Bill Gedde for giving me the opportunity. I look forward to the business opportunities that lay ahead for me and I am incredibly grateful to my View family and my fans for supporting me on this journey."

Julian Zelizer: President's Bully Pulpit is Not What It Used To BeRoundup: Historians' Take
Julian Zelizer, a history professor at Princeton University, is the author of "Jimmy Carter" and the editor of "The Presidency of George W. Bush."
At key moments in his presidency, Barack Obama has struggled to win the support of the American people through the power of his oratory. The power of persuasion has traditionally been one of the most powerful weapons of the commander in chief.
On Wednesday, in his most recent effort to recreate the power of the bully pulpit in the modern age of communication, the president conducted a town hall tweet session on the White House Twitter account, which enjoys more than 2 million followers. This is the latest effort in a series of attempts to use social media, such his Facebook town hall, to communicate to the American people.
Thus far, however, President Obama has had trouble taking his case directly to the public. This is ironic and puzzling since he was the candidate who dazzled Americans during the 2008 campaign, including many Republicans.
How can this be? Throughout the 20th century, presidents used the bully pulpit to win public support. President Theodore Roosevelt courted reporters and delivered major speeches, covered by most of the newspapers, on key legislation such as railroad regulation and food inspection....

This is the first 'grown up' perfume I've ever bought. I used Nina by Nina Ricci all throughout my teenage years and, although it's a lovely perfume, I wanted something that was more mature whilst still being feminine.
There's just something about this perfume that is so utterly unique! I use it as my everyday scent and I always get so many compliments. It is unmistakably citrus-y with a hint of floral but there's something else that I can't quite put my finger on which makes this perfume so special. I must say that this is indeed a very happy scent and I feel it gives me a burst of energy when I put it on every morning.
I've seen a few people criticising the packaging of the product but I actually admire the simplicity of it - I think it's quite chic!
Overall I adore Clinique Happy - I think it's a nice middle ground between a young and a mature scent which can be difficult to find and it's unlike anything else I've come across! Don't knock it til you try it!

I really wanted to love this, I love citric fruits like lemon and passion fruit, which is my favorite fruit, I come from the tropic and the orange color of the bottle makes me happy because it reminds me of the sun. But I ended up disliking it, the smell is too strong and it smells fake to me, not like a natural citric smell as I was expecting. A friend of mine hated it and couldn't stand it, since then I'm afraid to use it. I don't like it on myself, maybe it's just bad chemistry with my skin. I want to use it up, so I'll try using just a little each time.

I am not a fragrance expert, so I will not have anything to write about base notes and such like. But in my own (non-specialist) way, I can be very critical about perfumes, EDTs, etc. I will have about 10 at most on my favourite list and, yes, Clinique Happy is on it!
I find it a very wearable day fragrance - fresh, uniquely and only slightly floral, and citrus-y all in one. HAPPY is really a very suitable name for this scent. I am just disappointed to find that some people are not of the same opinion. Most people like it on me, but there will be some (men especially) who will find it too 'sharp' (strangely enough). Am not sure if I simply sprayed too much on those occasions. But as a result, I tend to be very conservative when spraying this. So I guess this would be my advice to others too. Cause I think this is an excellent and unique day scent when sprayed in moderation, but can be offensive if overdone.
I don't care much for the HAPPY spin-offs, like Happy Heart for example, which tend to be very 'common' in my opinion. I see the business reason for it: Clinique wants to capture a wider market by extending to more conventional scents. The original HAPPY has always been the best for me. Please do not discontinue.

Not a particularly stand-out scent, but it's my go-to because it's so consistent and reliable. I'm not a fragrance connoisseur, so I won't try to describe it in specifics, but I find it a bright but light scent, refreshing and springy, but can be used most of the year because it's pretty balanced. It's not necessarily a scent that stands out, but I personally tend to prefer less noticeable scents, so this works well for me.

Like but don't love. Definitely a "no perfume" perfume, its clean and fresh and smells nice but not great. However, packaging is wonderful and I use it now and again.

In the study, the movement of the blue dot was rotated to the left or the right by larger or smaller amounts until it was a full 30 degrees off from the joystick's movement. The research team found that volunteers responded more quickly to smaller errors that pushed them consistently in one direction and less to larger errors and those that went in the opposite direction of other feedback. "They learned to give the frequent errors more weight as learning cues, while discounting those that seemed like flukes," says David Herzfeld, a graduate student in Shadmehr's laboratory who led the study.
The results also have given Shadmehr a new perspective on his after-work tennis hobby. "I'm much better in my second five minutes of playing tennis than in my first five minutes, and I always assumed that was because my muscles had warmed up," he says. "But now I wonder if warming up is really a chance for our brains to re-experience error."
"This study represents a significant step toward understanding how we learn a motor skill," says Daofen Chen, Ph.D., a program director at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. "The results may improve movement rehabilitation strategies for the many who have suffered strokes and other neuromotor injuries."
The next step in the research, Shadmehr says, will be to find out which part of the brain is responsible for the "coaching" job of assigning weight to different types of error.

By stirring up the Middle East – from Western exploitation of oil to Zionist expulsion of Palestinians – Christians and Jews set in motion today's "clash of civilizations" with Islam and launched all three religions on a path toward dangerous primitivism, a threat to humanity's future, writes Lawrence Davidson.

In Case You Missed…
Some of our special stories from May focused on powerful institutions abusing their authority by making exaggerated, dubious or false allegations to justify punitive actions – from the U.S. government to the mainstream media to the NFL – while often covering up their own offenses and hypocrisies.
Israel Seeks to Criminalize Criticism
Facing growing condemnation for anti-Palestinian racism, Israel has gone from accusing its critics of anti-Semitism to exploring ways to criminalize a boycott movement intended to create a real democracy for Jews and Arabs, writes Lawrence Davidson.
Egypt's Descent into Despotism
Egypt's brief experiment with democracy was crushed by internal and external forces alarmed by a populist Islamic government. With the backing of Israel, Saudi Arabia and others, a brutal military despotism took over and consolidated power, but it shouldn't be called a government, says Lawrence Davidson.
In Case You Missed…
Some of our special stories in April examined the expanding conflicts in the Middle East, the prospect of a peaceful nuclear agreement with Iran, and the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.
The Reasons for Urban Rioting
Urban rioting has a long history in the United States, often with one ethnic group turning on another. But modern history is more about oppressed racial communities lashing out at police brutality and government injustice, a phenomenon that requires a new national effort to resolve, writes Lawrence Davidson.
How Saudi-Israel Alliance Helps Al-Qaeda
Neither the U.S. political system nor the mainstream media can come to grips with the new reality in the Middle East as the Saudi-Israeli alliance effectively sides with Al-Qaeda-connected jihadists and seeks to entangle the U.S. government on the Sunni side of an ancient conflict with Shiites, as Lawrence Davidson explains.
Shutting Down Debate about Israel
Anyone who dares criticize Israel's treatment of the Palestinians knows what to expect: accusations of being "anti-Israel" or "anti-Semitic." In mainstream political and academic circles, the topic can be especially toxic as "pro-Israel" zealots go to great lengths to block even a debate, writes Lawrence Davidson.
Anti-Islam Hate in City of Brotherly Love
Though the First Amendment protected the right of American Nazis to march through Jewish neighborhoods of Skokie, Illinois, in 1978, the provocation was universally condemned. Now, an Islamophobic group is posting Muslim-bashing ads on Philadelphia buses, notes Lawrence Davidson.
Israel's Unsavory New 'Allies'
The American people, who still want to stop Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, are only dimly aware that longtime U.S. "allies" – Israel and Saudi Arabia – have shifted into an effective alliance with those Sunni jihadists as part of their regional war against Iran and Shiite Islam, as Lawrence Davidson explains.

So, my car is due for annual service. Back then I think a lot of us bought the 4 year pre-paid annual service as an insurance policy since it was a new company, model, etc. and I wasn't sure if the company would even be around this year. I even bought the ranger service (which I have never used). Anyway, when I called to schedule the annual service the rep basically says "well you really don't need a routine annual service". This was shocking to hear as part of the warranty tells you that annual checks have to be performed by Tesla. Also since it made me feel I may have spent 2400 dollars for no reason.
For those who have had annual service done, what was done and could you have continued without annual service? Did you get your money's worth?
The car has been flawless so far for 10000 miles (except for alignment x 2 at months 2 and 4).
Huh? You're a year in and have 10,000 miles and the Service Advisor said you really don't need the annual service?
Find another Serice Center or Service Advisor.
First of all, if you prepaid for annual service the 4 year plan is $1900.00 for 4 years not $2400.00.
Second, if you already prepaid for it, why do you care if the service rep thinks you need it. You paid for it already.
Third, the annual service is not necessary to keep your warranty in force.
I agree with Thomas N., talk to someone else and mention this to the Service manager.
@JT: +1. That's sound advice.
The annual service is not REQUIRED. But you still need to rotate your tires and check the vehicle over for alignment, wiper wear, fluids etc., They may also have "updates" to your car that they can install and apply at the service center.
You did not pay that money for nothing. You paid for the peace of mind and to keep your vehicle in tip top condition.
Call the service center and schedule your service visit and let them rotate your tires, check everything over. Replace what is needed and update anything new they have to add or replace.
Get your car back and continue to enjoy the experience. You can skip the annual service but then you are taking a chance that you are not driving around with misaligned wheels, etc., For your needs and peace of mind, you did the right thing pre-purchasing the service visits.
From what I was told by my sales advisor, only those that financed their car through one of Teslas bank partners, have to have documented proof that the car had it's annual service done. From what he said, this is the bank's way to protect their
As others said, it is not required to keep your warranty intact.
I just had my annual service and I recommend you have it done.
FYI, I did not pay for the service agreeement upfront.
During my annual service, I had the following done.
1. Titanium shield
2. Tire rotation.
3. Multiple repairs to pano and chrome to reduce noise (I have never had any unusual noise, but I appreciated the preemptive repairs)
4. new wiper blades
5. cabin filter
6. both fobs were repaired and battery replaced
7. New defroster mesh
8. Steering update
9. Plastic fin on rear of car was replaced and realigned.
10. New frunk and interior mats!!
I thought it was a good value.
@jai9001: That's a great value. No other manufacturer would haved rolled in some of those trim enhancements.
I took my car in for the 6 month tire rotation and the list of items they fixed was as long as Jai's above. I had the tires rotated, titanium shield added, steering washers replaced, door handle replaced due to corrosion (one very very tiny dot in the middle of it), seat belt noise fixed, trim on passenger side of car fixed, etc. When it goes back in at the end of summer for its annual I'm sure there will be more service bulletins as well as items that need adjusting.
I'm happy I paid the $1900 for the four years. Pocket change on a $110K investment.
I'd recommend the first annual service for any car. It's a chance for service to notice anything amiss or something wearing improperly and might even catch a safety issue that can be fixed. After the first annual, it seems a bit less important for later ones. It does add some comfort that the car is being well looked after. I'm less concerned with the battery/motor than having a periodic look at the suspension, tires and brakes for damage or unusual wear.
Some people just run a car into the ground and really don't care. Others prefer to do their own inspections and work. Nothing wrong either approach either - just whatever fits your style and budget.
arrg: "... Nothing wrong with either approach..."
Do the annual service. As I recall there were 15 separate items replaced or upgraded during annual service a few months ago. Never hurts to have the mother ship look it over.
Tesla dropped a loaner at our house in the morning and traded out the loaner later in the day while I was sitting on a rowing machine at the gym. No charge for anything and absolutely painless. Can't think of any reason not to do it. Schedule it ahead at a time on a date that works for you and the shop and a loaner is available.
Coordinate with service and pick a date that works for you and for them. If they just received two auto haulers of new cars to prep and deliver it's probably dumb to expect them to drop everything and do an annual service. I have received wonderful service from my SC but I also cooperate to schedule in a way that accommodates their work flow also. win win.
At face value, the service rep sounds shady. If you've got other options in your area for service, go for it. On the other hand, context can mean a lot. If you've recently had the vehicle in (other than your alignments) for the titanium shield, for example, they've likely already applied the bulletin updates and have done a cursory inspection which mimics the first annual service. If you guys were having trouble scheduling a specific day due to conflicting schedules, the comment is an appropriate way of saying, 'We can put this off a bit without worry.' Despite all that, I'll take your post at face value and assume the experience doesn't match what most of us have experienced. Insist you get an annual service at that center or any other. It has nothing to do with the money or pre-payment or warranty. It simply should be checked out annually...an ounce of prevention and all that.
Really you're gonna buy a $100K car and skip the annual checkup? I think it's a great idea to have the professionals look the car over once a year.
If you didn't mention that you already bought the 4 year service plan the service rep might have thought you haven't purchased it yet and you are not sure whether to spend money on it.
Otherwise unwillingness to provide the service you paid for is wrong and you should talk to the manager.
You comments helped me decide to purcahse the prepaid service plan.
I was "kvetching" for 7 weeks and 5 days on my decision. Jane
He bought ranger service, so $2400 is the correct amount.
I didn't buy ranger service, or the service plan, and they've offered to flat bed my car 400+ miles when it's time for the annual service, gratis.
@Bighorn I should get my daughter to read the forum to me. :-)
Not to take away from people's views of the annual service, more specifically the items people listed as being done, but most of that was warranty work anyways.
Often it is said/argued that if one spent upwards of 6 figures on a car, then $600 is a drop in the bucket. I have never subcribed to that way of thinking. The price of the car and the price of service really shouldn't be connected. The skill set to do an oil change on a Ford Mustang is the same as it is on a Lamborghini, yet the Lambo will cost you a fortune because it's a Lambo. Yes I know there is more oil, but you know what I mean.
So back to the Tesla, from what is listed on the website, you are are not getting much for $600. Brake pads? it will be years before they need replacing. Wiperblades? only if they just so happen to need replacing at the time of service.
I have yet to see a list of things done at the annual service that is not already covered by either a service campaign (titanium shield) or the bumper to bumper warranty. This is not to say that I won't get it done, but I need to know/see an actual list of what is being done that versus what the website list.
"The skill set to do an oil change on a Ford Mustang is the same as it is on a Lamborghini, yet the Lambo will cost you a fortune because it's a Lambo."
This is incorrect. Porsche 911 oil changes are astronomical because you can't even SEE the motor, much less get easy access to it. You can on the Ford Mustang.
I side with Jordanrichard on this. The annual service seems mainly about checking and proactively doing things that don't need doing if you aren't having a problem with it. That list of things jai9001 mentioned? Sure, they did them, but they would have still done those things if you waited until the 2 year mark instead of 1 year. Also, 2 years is when the manual lists the first thing that actually is supposed to be changed (I think it was battery coolant fluid), with the next one being at 4 years.
When the actual recommended services it needs are every 2 years, I don't think it's worth $600 to me to take it in on the off years just because.
Most of your issues sound like warranty repairs and have nothing to do with the service contract.
I will be taking my car in for some warranty issues next week and the service manager said that they would take care of all my issues PLUS check the car head to toe for anything that I might have missed.
Totally agree.
They charged me accordingly!!!
I'm with you jordanrichard! I plan on doing it every two years. I have had my car in twice for warranty work and they seem to look it over and do things I didn't even ask for. Seems like everything is under warranty. I have a $160 lifetime plan with Firestone for alignment service any time I want. Their tire rotation is $20 when I decide it should be done. Floor Mats, Wiperblades ?!?!? Meh!
34500 miles in 13 months. My 3rd 'annual service' is approaching. Didn't prepay but I am happy to come up $600 every 12500 miles. This includes tire rotations every 6250 miles which apparently would otherwise cost $150. Mostly warranty items and service bulletins but they proactively check the brakes and fill all fluids etc. not sure that it is a true $600 value but on a $100,000 investment I'm getting peace of mind.
You should get that $600 inspection done every six months and get even MORE peace of mind! Sorry, but I had to.
I have a car that goes 0-100 in around 4 seconds. I want that car checked over annually...
Thomas N, I own a Porsche 911, albeit a 911SC, but a 911 nonetheless. Whether you can see the engine or not, which is true of the new 911, doesn't change the fact that there is an oil drain plug and an oil fill cap.
Hell, for years and years Mercedes dealerships have used suction pumps to draw the oil out of the oil pan via the dipstick instead of taking the time to put the car on a lift and crack open the drain plug. This saves them a lot of time, but they still gouge you on the price.
Of course I took it for an annual check and what I love is that the company is very pro-active and they looked over the car and found and fixed issues I was not yet aware of: (mirror cover gap (fixed), vanity mirror with premature wear (replaced), loose door trim (re-taped), nail in the rear tire (replaced, for $$, :( ), steering wheel washer shims (replaced). Overall, quite worth it. They'll need to continue to strive towards excellence in customer service for eventual world domination.
@Rocky H . I am getting it every 6 months. Doing it every 12500 miles.
@ DC@Tesla Everything you mentioned are warranty items!
I am with @mrrjm on this. Are folks really contemplating spending $100K on a price of mechanical equipment then scrimping on the preventative maintenance?

"Coal on a Roll" - in depth from onearth.orgPermalink +
Thu, Sep 01, 2011, 3:46 pm // John Servais
A longish article, but with good information for us here in Whatcom County. As we face the looming reality of the Cherry Point Coal Terminal, we would do well to learn what the forces are that are imposing this on us. And let us not fool ourselves on two issues: It is a coal port and the fix is in. None of this 'general cargo terminal' lie and none of this make-believe that the government agencies still need to approve the permits. The fix is in - from the governor to our two U.S. senators to the agencies they control - all of them.
But still, we can learn, and this article is good for looking at the larger picture. George Black traveled to the places and interviewed people and did some research. www.onearth.org is a website of the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group. It is based in New York. Funny they can have a guy do more traveling in our Washington state than any of our journalists. But then they don't have pressure from local advertisers.

That's not the route a Bellingham bound train wiould take, any in depth map would show the correct route to Cherry Point, I'm positive even Warren would tell you that free information.
John Servais // Sat, Sep 03, 2011, 1:36 pm
That is the map used in the article - and that is why it is used to illustrate this short review and link to the article. That should be plain enough.
I was in Missoula this summer and saw the coal trains pass through on their way to Roberts Bank - per the route on this map. The rail through Missoula is leased by BNSF. There are probably more routes that are used. I hope to be posting more on this soon.
Regardless, I still think the coal trains for Cherry Point will come across Canada, cross over at Sumas and ride on new tracks to Custer. Lynden will be blindsided. See my March 25 article.
David Camp // Tue, Sep 06, 2011, 11:15 am
Despite your apparent capitulation to the "looming reality of the Cherry Point Coal Terminal" because "the fix is in", others here in our green county beg to differ. No doubt George III believed in the "looming reality" of his victory over an army of hemp-clothed colonial volunteers, as did the CIA in the continuing usefulness of its asset in North Africa, Colonel Ghaddaffi. To quote Robbie Burns: "The best laid plans of mice and men oft gang aglay".
The traitors who run our national economy for their own benefit and that of foreign rivals, with whom they are in league (Goldman Sachs on Chairman Mao's payroll - and our own local unions corrupted by the same greedy moral degenerates!), are few in number and easily identifiable. Thanks to the increasing concentration of wealth and power that globalization engenders, the economic elite is both richer and smaller in number. Soon enough they will feel the wrath of the American middle class that they continue to sell out to Communist Chinese interests.
John Servais // Tue, Sep 06, 2011, 12:18 pm
David - nowhere did I capitulate. Funny how you read that in. The fix is in - and we do need to learn much more about this. Right now we are thrashing blindly about in anger - and that will not do us any good.
Dan Pike reversing himself for pure political reasons and saying he is against the project is a blind lashing out. If reelected, he will probably forget his opposition the day after the election - as he did for most of his promises 4 years ago. And, his lashing out at the coal trains is just dumb as trains go where they want. He worked on transportation policies for the state before being elected and he well knows the emptiness of his ranting against trains.
The one person doing the most is Bob Ferris of Re-Sources. He is combining opposition with education. He should be supported by all. But we have lots of people and organizations that want to be seen as political heros and will try to take the spotlight - with vague and meaningless rants.
We need to learn more. Our elected officials can ask questions - but so far they have not. When I ask them as individuals why not - they say that the railroads, SSA, the regulators, our governor, our two senators, and Goldman Sachs do not have to give answers. Well, to me, that is no reason for not asking the questions.
If we as a county wide community actually try to learn what is planned and to seek to stop it if it is onerous, then we could do it. But we seem to not have the leaders who will seek the answers for us. You or I can post questions and they will never be answered. But if county council members ask and repeatedly ask questions in this election season, then some answers might come forward.
Right now we know little of what we might object to. And that is the way the powers want to keep it. First we need to learn. Then we can decide whether or not to oppose. Right now, the fix is in - and we peasants are not expected to know how to do anything meaningful about it. Hard truth, but the truth.
David Camp // Wed, Sep 07, 2011, 6:50 am
I admit to having read a certain fatalistic acceptance of the fix that's in in your post. Glad you've not given up hope. This Coal project is of global scope - the SSA-Cherry Point project is a small component of many comprising it. And its proponents have so far done a good job of keeping opposition fragmented and local. And of co-opting local worthies to divide and conquer, exploiting the social divisions carefully maintained by the money elite: "conservative" v. "librul"; county v. B'ham; green v. jobs. (It seems to me that we have an elite that maintains power by a combination of racketeering and brainwashing and dominionist ideology - putting up hired hand "leaders" to maintain the illusion of democracy. e.g. our Empty Suit of an Emperor.).
And they use deception as a matter of habit. Consider the BS statement "the trains will come through B'ham anyway and the coal will be shipped through Canadian ports". True only for the very small capacity at ROberts Bank (Tswawassen, BC) - even if its planned expansion goes through, it will be for only a small fraction of the capacity proposed for Cherry Point. So yes coal trains will come through town- only not 40 per day, but rather only 10 or so (compared to the current 4).
I'm looking forward to the candidates' responses to this question in the October edition of Whatcom Watch.
John Servais // Wed, Sep 07, 2011, 9:39 am
I agree with you, David.
Except for waiting for possible answers in the October Whatcom Watch. That is how we lose - by going with the routine practices of Democracy.
Instead, we need many of our elected officials and candidates to publicly ask the hard questions now - and keep asking them. We need to put Senators Murray and Cantwell on the spot. We need to put the Governor on the spot. We need even those candidates who think this coal port is a good idea to ask hard questions.
But we won't see that. The fix is in. We will see knowingly empty rhetoric and excuses. And a few years from now we will listen to these same people say they would have been against this coal port if only they had known. It is how it works. We need some real leadership in our community. So far, I do not see any individual willing to take up that vacant position. Kremen and Pike have certainly never gone near such a position. Will Linville or Louws? Will Tony or Barry or Seth or Christie?

Evan Vucci, Associated Press
BOSTON — Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney's first traditional campaign trip of the general election, a six-state trek by bus, is aimed at swaying undecided voters living "off the beaten path" outside America's big cities. To hear his advisers tell it, he'll be visiting the towns President Barack Obama forgot — but in states the president won in 2008.
"We're certainly campaigning on their turf, as opposed to campaigning on our turf," senior adviser Russ Schriefer told reporters gathered at Romney's Boston headquarters Friday morning for a breakfast briefing.
The tour begins Friday in New Hampshire and continues to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan — six battleground states Obama carried when he was elected in 2008.
The former Massachusetts governor planned to roll through at least 14 small cities and towns over the five days of his "Every Town Counts" tour. His aides say he will stop in the kinds of places that are hurting because of the bad economy — not those, they say, that Obama has in mind when he speaks about how to make things better.
"Some people will call this . the back roads of America. What he believes really is that this is the backbone of America — this is where folks, as I said, work really hard and are really struggling," Schriefer said.
It's a new mode for Romney, who kept a limited public schedule through late April, May and early June, preferring to spend his time raising money and holding a handful of public events each week.
The bus tour will mix small, local venues with larger events and some "not necessarily traditional campaign stops," Schriefer said.
Over the next five days, there will be "a lot of ice cream, a lot of cheeseburgers, and a lot of classic retail," said Rick Gorka, Romney's traveling press secretary.
It will bring Romney back to the kind of retail politicking he hasn't engaged in since the early days of the Republican primary, when he campaigned in diners and coffee shops across Iowa and New Hampshire. With that opportunity, however, comes risk. Romney sometimes ran into trouble in the more unpredictable environments. At one stop at a New Hampshire diner, for example, a gay veteran confronted him about his opposition to gay marriage.
This time, Romney will be looking for undecided voters in battleground states that will decide the presidential election. The goal: winning over people who might have voted for Obama's promise of hope and change four years ago but who are disappointed in what the president has delivered — or not delivered.
"It's a continuing of three and a half years of disappointment," Schriefer said.
By starting in New Hampshire, Romney returns to the state where he began his bid for the Republican nomination. Almost one year ago, he announced at a family farm that he was officially launching his campaign for the White House. About six months later, he won New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary in a landslide, though it took many more victories to triumph over his GOP rivals.
Romney will be at the same farm on Friday but with a new opponent in Obama, and a new challenge. While he led Republican polls in New Hampshire by double digits, the state voted for Obama in 2008 and for Democrat John Kerry in 2004. Romney will have an uphill climb in New Hampshire this year, though his advisers see opportunity there.
Joining Romney on the tour's first day are Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who are both considered potential vice presidential picks.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr knew what he was doing when he stepped in to coach these players. He made sure they knew to play the right way and to show up professionally and make correct decisions on the basketball court. From Stephen Curry to Klay Thompson to Draymond Green to Andrew Bogut to Harrison Barnes, these Warriors showed up to play ball and contribute in each and every way as possible. There wasn't anything to ask from them. They'd do it for the team.
NBA Offseason/Warriors win NBA title
The Golden State Warriors are the 2015 NBA champions and they did it by beating Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers four times in a best of seven game series. Steve Kerr's Warriors are the golden standard of playing basketball. If only our representatives at the U.S. Men's National Basketball team at the Olympic Games could do that feat of what the Golden State Warriors did. 80% of life is showing up, and these Warriors did do that. The Cleveland Cavaliers resigned Kevin Love to a multi-year deal and the New Orleans Pelicans inked Anthony Davis to a five-year extension. The Toronto Raptors signed DeMarre Carroll away from the Atlanta Hawks for a four year, $60 million deal and the San Antonio Spurs signed Danny Green to a 45 million dollar deal for four years.
Game 1 of the 2015 NBA Finals
The Warriors made sure Lebron James got 44 points on tough shots. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr employed a tactic to let James score all the points and Kerr made sure his teammates do not get going. Nobody else but Lebron James was in double figures. Golden State survived overtime, winning Game 1, 108-100 and moving onto Game 2. NBA analysts predict the Warriors in five. I like to see the Warriors win the NBA Finals in seven. I want to see a competitive series between Stephen Curry and Lebron James.
NBA Finals Game 1
Tomorrow is Game 1 of the 2015 NBA Finals in the Oracle Arena when the Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Golden State Warriors. What will happen and who will prosper? Will the Warriors prevail home court or will the Lebron James-led Cavs take it?
NBA Finals
The Cleveland Cavaliers have swept the Atlanta Hawks, because talent beats teamwork. Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer is trying to implement a free-flowing offense without a low post threat. Good luck with that. With Lebron James taking on everyone on the Hawks basketball squad guarding each of them, the Cavs' role players have stepped up to contribute to team success. The Golden State Warriors haven't been to the NBA Finals and haven't won it in forty years. That will change on June 4, when the Warriors host the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1. Who wants it more? The Rockets have tried to grind out the Warriors in style, but that's not their game and not the case in Game 5.
Game 1 of the Eastern Conference NBA Finals
The Cleveland Cavaliers came prepared for their first game against the Atlanta Hawks. The Cavs were upped to play up-tempo defense so they could stop the Hawks from running their team plays. The Cavs made sure they didn't give Kyle Korver any open looks and made it hard on Jeff Teague to get his open looks at the basket. Lebron James was the centerpiece of Cleveland's offense and J.R. Smith made most of his open looks. The Hawks looked frustrated, partly because they weren't prepared by the Cavaliers' onslaught. Every time the Hawks made a basket, Cleveland made sure they run a half-court offense so they could get their two points on the other end. In order to win the game, the Cavaliers had to neutralize the Hawks' up-tempo offense and they did that with defense and making stops before Atlanta could hoist a three-point shot or a bucket near the basket.
NBA Conference Finals
The Cleveland Cavaliers finally left the East semifinals, leaving the Chicago Bulls behind and sending Tom Thibodeau's squad home. The Cavaliers will be facing the Atlanta Hawks and this will be a showdown between Lebron James and the run-fast up-tempo game that Mike Budenholzer implanted on these Hawks players. Lebron James will have to pick his poison on who to defend on the Hawks whether it's Jeff Teague or Paul Millsap. The Atlanta Hawks dispatched of the Washington Wizards in six games. The Golden State Warriors, led by NBA league MVP Stephen Curry, will be taking on the winner of the L.A. Clippers and Houston Rockets.
